As far as I know, the casting for Bilbo
Baggins in the upcoming adaptation of
The Hobbit has not been decided yet. One name that has not been thrown into the ring yet (yuk-yuk), as far as I know, is Colin Firth. The first time I saw him in his role in
Nanny McPhee (above) I thought, Here is a man who could do it. I could see him ageing into Ian
Holm's Bilbo
Baggins. I could see him as Bilbo, especially in the scene above, when he is dressed in a green coat and yellow waistcoat, nervously confronting Angela
Lansbury (who made a good stand-in for
Lobelia), and the scene following, when he chases down the lane after her coach (Bilbo running to The Green Dragon Inn). I know there is no chance in Hell that Guillermo del Toro will ever see this, but if there is any cosmic justice, it might possibly happen.

You sold me on him!
